Audacity Forum

Well, you lucky dog. Your sound files will open in the current Audacity 2.4.2, but not in the exciting, new, Audacity 3.0 (under test). That's concerning. Do you regularly have Audacity crash on you? I'll rip the studio apart a bit later, but your submitted samples are insanely noisy, and it's not (...

I had a garbled recording (of my own voice) Do you know why that happened? Was this a street interview where you swing a directional microphone back and forth? https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/ShotGunInterview.jpg Describe what you were doing. Describe the interview. Were you recording in Au...

I see a bundle with this microphone and a Shure X2U preamp and interface. I have an X2U. It's in a box in the garage.

This bundle seems to have everything in it.

They completely soundproofed the tiny third bedroom so the drum sound was crisp, clear, sharp and d...

Turn your speaker or headphone volume down.

Select one track with the button on the left. Effect > Amplify > New Peak -3dB > OK.

That's a sampling error. The first part is 10% slow. Here, I corrected it. Darth_Vader_voiceCorrected.wav Screen Shot 2020-09-28 at 8.41.11 AM.png You can try correcting this with Effect > Change Pitch, but that is much more likely to damage the sound quality. Why is this happening? Ummmm. Are you s...

Post back with your solution and what worked for you. We use these responses to help others with similar problems. In general, it's a terrific idea to get a plain, ordinary recording to work first before you pile on effects, filters, and corrections. The audiobook people actually have a name for the...

I can think of two ways to tell when your recording is trash. View > Show Clipping . Screen Shot 2020-09-28 at 12.32.15 AM.png Any red bands in the performance indicate places where the wind had pushed the recording past overload into distortion. Also Effect > Amplify . If both numbers are 0 the sho...

good for up to 12 hours of audio.

And past that you're not doing audio production and editing anymore. You're doing surveillance and industrial manufacturing. Out of our league. There are some very nice software packages for that complete with sticky time stamps and auto archive.
